With dinner and birthday cake on hold, Belvett walked up to his D’Ippolito Elementary School polling place about 4 p.m Tuesday prepared for his milestone moment.

Classroom lessons focused on the campaign, he said.

“We’ve had some discussions about the issues and the election,” said Jennifer Belvett, who joined her son in a voting line more than 20-people deep. “He’s informed, he’s got a good head on his shoulders.”

The presidential race, featuring Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, had her son less than inspired.

“In my opinion, they both suck,” Belvett said.

But he had a philosophy.

“Pick the one that sucks less,” he said.

Belvett said he planned to allocate one his three Vineland board of education votes for Cedric Holmes, the VHS Class of 2015 graduate seeking office and a place in history as the youngest candidate to win Vineland school board seat.

But Belvett was adamant that he didn’t plan to follow Holmes' path to elected office.

“No, I’m not into politics,” he said

But his younger sister might.
